If you put the axes origin at {0, 0} it is difficult to read the labels.

S11Exercise64b = {{0, 120}, {10, 119}, {20, 118}, {30, 117}, {40, 116}, {50,
    115}, {60, 114}, {70, 113}, {80, 112}};

ListPlot[S11Exercise64b,
 PlotStyle -> {Blue, AbsolutePointSize[6]},
 FrameLabel -> {x, y},
 Frame -> True,
 Axes -> False,
 PlotRange -> {{-4, 98}, {111, 121}},
 Epilog -> {
   Text[Style[#, 12], #, {-1.25, 0}] & /@
    S11Exercise64b}]

Graphics[{
  Text[Style[#, 12], #, {-1.25, 0}] & /@
   S11Exercise64b,
  Blue, AbsolutePointSize[6],
  Point[S11Exercise64b]},
 FrameLabel -> {x, y},
 Frame -> True,
 PlotRange -> {{-4, 98}, {111, 121}},
 AspectRatio -> 1/GoldenRatio]
